Camps  SUMMER KIDS KAMP - We had an awesome summer at Kids Kamp. On average we had approximately 200+ campers per day. This is up on average 30 campers each week since last summer. This is a great testament to our amazing part-time staff who worked really hard during the last few years to create awesome experiences for the kids int the program. This summer we increased our staffing from 26t to 32i in order to meet the vacation needs of our staff and allow us the flexibility to increase staffing levels during peak weeks. Some of the other new changes this year were new weekly camp challenges, Camper VS. This summer Kids Kamp was held on our own turf at the Lincoln Community Center and Creekside Oaks Elementary School with 8 weeks of fun. Our weekly Kids Kamp Challenges included all 100+ campers, split onto teams and consisted of Color Wars, Minute-to-Win-lt, Double Dare Challenges where campers got to slime the leader of their choice and much more. Our specialty camps consisted of Sewing Camp, Cooking Camp, Aviation Camp, Cooking, Building and sO much more! Our revenue was up this year by Every year we strive for something new and try to reach a new avenue of campers, those ones that don't prefer the business of a Camp Lincoln Day. So we decided to add specialty camps to reach these campers. We originally started with over 100 camps this summer. We know, crazy, but we knew the reach would be worth the work. We ended up running about 40 of them. Over 20 camps were canceled due to the lack of transportation. It turned out that Placer County was not able to provide the transportation needed to off-site camps. Others were cancelled due to the overwhelming number of campers that stayed inour Camp Lincoln Program. Overall our camps were a huge success and we are looking to partner with WPUSD next year to allow them to run the specialty camps and we will continue to grow and develop our FALL INTO FUN DAY CAMP - This camp will be full of fun activities, crafts, experiments and a field trip to Blue Oaks Cinema. This is a smaller camp and we will expect around 40 campers this Fall!  Counselor competitions, and over 50 specialty camps.  approximately $3,600 per week! Kids Kamp Highlight:  Kids Kamp program!
